WNBA Draft

WNBA draft is on the 15th. On the mocks I have seen mocks and Kelly Faris is not in any of the three rounds of the draft. She won 4 HS
Championsships and two national titles. Not even drafted?
I know this is a Pacer forum but for those interested what do you know about players the Fever would take in the first round?

Re: WNBA Draft

Bothers me that she's graduating though. I wish Uconn had four more years of her. She's one of my all time favorite Uconn players..and I think most Uconn fans feel the same. (I know Geno does. She's probably #2 behind Diana.)

I would guess the Fever are looking for post players, but typically...as in the NBA draft, you take the best player available. And if Kelly is there, she's the best player available.

She graduated from Heritage when my son did so we were able to watch them play a few times. Faris would add some draw to the
Fever like Katie Douglas does.

Re: WNBA Draft

I'm good friends with Kelly's brother, Patrick, and have known the Faris' for 20 years. Patrick told me the Fever have been in contact with her and are interested. She'll be drafted in the first round.

Thanks for the info. I suspect the Fever will try very hard to bring her here.

Re: WNBA Draft

Kelly Faris was one of twelve players invited to the draft.

there are three Indiana players among the top 12 prospects who have been invited to the Bristol, Conn. studios where the draft event will take place.

There are three Hoosiers among the top prospects – Skylar Diggins of Notre Dame, Kelly Faris of Connecticut and Alex Bentley out of Penn State.
